Although Home Depot started as a pure DIY operation, it already has a lot invested in virtual home design software as a service (visualize what your new kitchen remodel will look like, then contract to have the work done). Offering 3D print as a service is a natural fit for the same part of the store. For customers, it will be a risk-free way of trying out an expensive and temperamental new technology.
For this discussion it is the same country, because the space hardware developed in Soviet times was not magically made to disappear when capitalist Russia took over.
It was the Luddite lobby, not "Reaganomics" which has prevented NASA from doing anything significant in manned programs. The ONLY way we will ever return to the Moon or explore Mars will be in the private sector. Companies like SpaceX are using orbital contract work to develop the flight experience they will need for the big missions.
This situation already arose in Swiss banking: the IRS tried to assert jurisdiction over American accounts held in Switzerland. Switzerland 's response was, Screw you. All American accounts there were closed down and the US has been totally spliced out of dealings with this major world financial center. They found they could get along perfectly well without us.
My impression (I have in-laws there) is that same thing is about to happen in Swiss IT. Swiss companies will buy their equipment directly from China and close any operations in the US. As the Obama Dark Age rolls on, we become a tech as well as a financial backwater.
The availability of low-cost subscription models for film distribution mostly removes the incentive to pirate. If there were a similar paradigm for current TV programming, Hollywood wouldn't have a thing to worry about.
Then why do networks keep making up increasingly silly and contradictory rules to prevent us from watching content online? Streamed episodes that disappear after two weeks, episodes you have to wait eight days for, episodes that are available on the network's website but not on its iPad app, geographic fences, and the worst one of all, that "Verify your provider" login that accepts only a fraction of the cable companies that actually carry the network. Looks to me as though they are trying to keep us off the Internet as long as possible.
One day they will wake up and find that everyone is torrenting because it's the only way they can watch their legally purchased content. By then it will be too late, because people who torrent discover that it's just too easy to download content they didn't buy.
If you drove a Volvo or a Toyota in the same way, you would also crash and burn in pretty much the same manner, but with a tank of explosive gasoline to make things more interesting. Anyway, good riddance to this guy.
Yes, I'm assuming that. My point is that Aereo would operate the same way as a conventional cable service, but because it offers its content over the Internet it could go totally a la carte. And if it did so, the competition could induce other cable providers to do the same, switching their existing cable capacity over to Internet service. This would happen first in markets where a large percentage of subscribers already had streaming boxes attached to their TV sets, this being a proxy for tech awareness.
What the networks fear is delivery of TV content over the Internet. Now that everyone is getting streaming boxes of one make or another, this would invalidate their entire business model.
I was also wondering about the relevance of Aereo's technology in this new business model. If it gets classified as cable carrier, which is what the SCOTUS decision requires, then why not pick up its signal in the same way as all the other cable companies? Then it can trump everyone by offering networks a la carte over the Internet.
Money laundering is any use of cash which the government deems in a particular case to be connected with a criminal enterprise. This includes simple possession of cash, independent of its use in any transaction.
Restructuring the grid to accommodate renewables ("smart grid" design) involves installing new meters that continuously send rich information about your power usage and which can control start and stop times for your large appliances. Sorry, but the flat-earth lobby has already decided we can't have those smart meters.
You mean 'falsifiable': when a scientist publishes a hypothesis, the standard procedure is to describe what observations might support that hypothesis and which could call it into question. This guides scientific peers in designing experiments to test the hypothesis.
The problem here is that now that AGW has gone political, the rules of politics, not science, apply. The Church of Warminetics claims that all weather phenomena support their hypothesis. Question this, and they'll demand that your credentials be yanked and (the latest tactic) sue your ass off.
More importantly, how would the absence of humans cut down all the methane being belched by plant decay. Every peat bog, marsh, swamp and flourishing rainforest contributes some.

Ever since it voted 2-1 to stop in the name of love...
The agreement Switzerland signed was to disclose information about American clients who consent to the disclosure:

Since banks can sidestep the agreement by just refusing to deal with Americans, that's what they do.

The proceeds would go directly to astronomical research.
Some of the more advanced models incorporate kinetic energy storage, which never needs replacing over the lifetime of the watch.

Mine was crazy about Lappland.

No, wait - that's a different peer review ring.

If you read the news from Europe these days, they seem to be doing exactly that.

No, use your Bitcoin mining rig to toast bread and cook rice while in operation.
We don't want to send nuclear waste anywhere. The long-term radiation in it represents reusable, unburned fuel.
Hydro, the only baseload renewable, renders hundreds of square miles uninhabitable when operating normally.

If you put a straw man on a slippery slope, do you get adobe bricks that are so convenient for making mixed metaphors?
